Nice, seem a bit on the expensive side, or is that just me?

Limited run I presume, tooling costs are enormous so they have to recoup it somehow?

90 day warranty is a bit stingy tho and an extra £100 for at the factory installation plus extension to a years warranty is expensive too. Surely if they're any good then it should be a minimum of a years warranty, what difference does it make if you install them yourself??

£100 fitting charge?? Must be difficult. I am interested though.

what a find Justin! (am I not right in thinking you have the Marcos featured?..suppose that's how you stumbled across it)

the rear lights have to be the dullest feature of the standard car...after altering the front lights maybe now is the time for the factory to update the rears?

Got to admit I am very tempted.

Not quite - the one featured is the TSO, but I've been involved with the TS to TSO development for quite some time now

I have car number 001 of the TS500 outside my house that I'm having a hoot in, and the lights will be retrofitted to that car when the car next goes back to the factory.

how does one get involved in car development, when one has a full time(?) day job promoting the virtues of alternative telecoms? is it that you were first to place an order?

Very smart, they could improve the looks of the back end quite a bit. So, who will be the first pioneering Nobler to try them out? Justin, if you're getting a set for your Marcos why don't you ask them to stick them on the Noble first and take some pics.If they do it foc the exposure could get them a whole pile of business they wouldn't otherwise have received,you could negotiate the lamps as a freebie or at a massive discount and we see what they look like in real life.
Everone's a winner !

The price doesn't seem too bad to me? Have you looked at what light units normally cost for modern cars, or am I being tricked having only had to buy a mercedes one of late?

The other thing people could try is the led array bulbs that are a straight drop in replacement for the filament bulbs and would go into the old unit. Someone on seloc posted some links.

My car is currently in production at the factory. Due to be delivered on the 3rd Oct. Do you think the factory would fit them for me, while its in production?

The one thing I have never liked about the car is the rear lights.....

Marcos has nothing to do with Noble! Suggest you just either order them and fit them yourself, or take up the Marcos fitting option.

I'M GOING FOR IT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !. As Im in Ireland and not in an ass's roar of a Marcos or Noble service centre, just a couple of queries. Is it a big deal to get them fitted and will my mechanic be able to do same.

Also as my car is still in warrranty will the fitting of these lights effect same.

Cheers,

Alan
